H.B. No. 5154 amends Section 51.834 of the Education Code regarding the reporting requirements for the Joint Admission Medical Program. The bill mandates that the council deliver a report to the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house of representatives by December 31 of each even-numbered year. The report must include detailed information on several aspects of the program, including identified problems and recommended solutions, the expenditure of funds, and the number of students admitted to the program.

Significantly, the bill introduces new reporting requirements that include the number of students dismissed, terminated, placed on probation, or withdrawn from the program, as well as expenditures for graduate scholarships awarded to participating medical students. This includes details on the amount per student and considerations for maintaining the ending balance for potential reallocation to medical school scholarship recipients. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the program's operations.
